What you have here is essentially a specialist’s piece: an early Jaguar E-Type in flat-floor roadster configuration, with a louvered bonnet and the number noted as #876258. For people who follow these cars, “flat floor” is not trivia—it refers to the earliest E-Types, with first-phase construction details that are sought after precisely because they belong… Read More Hardtop equipped: 1962 Jaguar E-Type O.T.S.
In recent years, the classic-car market has looked broadly flat: less hype, more selectivity, and more attention to total cost (purchase price plus recommissioning and restoration). That matters only up to a point for us. We publish these cars anyway because, regardless of market cycles, they capture modern automotive history in a direct way—style, technology,… Read More Aged like wine: 1966 Maserati Mistral 4.0 Coupé
The Siata Daina Gran Sport is one of the more distinctive small-series Italian sports cars of the early 1950s, conceived as a lightweight and competitive machine with clear motorsport ambitions. Built in fewer than 50 examples, the Daina combined Fiat-based mechanical components with a carefully developed chassis and elegant coachwork, resulting in a car that… Read More Unrestored: 1953 Siata Daina Gran Sport by Farina
This Lancia Flaminia Coupé Pininfarina presents itself as an example that, while requiring restoration work, shows characteristics that are increasingly difficult to find today: overall originality, completeness, and a solid structural base. From the images provided, the car appears largely intact, without evidence of invasive restorations or improper modifications, and displays a clear and consistent… Read More Patina monster/12: 1959 Lancia Flaminia Coupé by Pininfarina
Once again, we come across a (probably) unique example and—what a coincidence—this too was built by Stabilimenti Farina on a Fiat 1100B chassis, with aluminum bodywork. We don’t know the history of this particular car, but we can make a guess: many years ago it was damaged, perhaps in a rear-end collision (or by hitting… Read More Tough life: 1949 Fiat 1100B Coupé by Farina
Among classic Volkswagens, the Karmann Ghia has always held a special place thanks to its timeless Italian design by Ghia and the craftsmanship of Karmann. But within the long production run, the so-called “Lowlight” models, built between 1955 and 1959, stand out as the most elegant and desirable. Characterized by their lower front headlights and… Read More Low light, low conditions: 1958 Karmann-Ghia Coupé
This is a rare 1966 TVR Griffith 200, one of only around 192 built. This is the car that embodied the Anglo-American formula of light British fiberglass bodywork and chassis combined with the raw power of Ford’s 289 V8. Often described as Britain’s answer to the Shelby Cobra, the Griffith 200 delivered extraordinary performance in… Read More Small car, big heart: 1966 TVR Griffith
Every once in a while, you come across a car that speaks to you — not because it’s an easy project, but precisely because it isn’t. This 1967 Fiat 1500S Vignale Coupé is one of those cars. Designed by Giovanni Michelotti and built by Carrozzeria Vignale in the mid-1960s, it’s a rare and elegant piece… Read More Labour of love: 1967 Fiat 1500S Coupé by Vignale
This Honda S600 Roadster presents itself as a complete and rust-free restoration project—a nice opportunity for enthusiasts of early Japanese sports cars. The car is offered as a full project but comes complete, including its original hardtop. The seller says that the engine head shows no cracks—a rarity for this model. The crankshaft is said… Read More Red and grey: 1965 Honda S600 Spider
A partially disassembled but striking Mercedes-Benz 190 SL, dating from May 1957, shows its age with honesty, yet retains much of its original structure and charm. The seller has not provided a detailed description, so all considerations are based solely on the photos provided. The bodywork appears to be in fundamentally sound condition, with no… Read More Half red: 1957 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL
